The Company intends to deploy the Net Proceeds arising out of the Issue mainly for the repayment/prepayment, in whole or in part, of some of the borrowings taken by the Company.

There are no listed comparable peers of the Company, limiting the ability of potential investors to benchmark its performance against similar companies or draw meaningful peer comparisons. LEAP India IPO provides exposure to a growing sustainable supply chain solutions company with a strong customer base, asset-pooling business model, and presence across high-growth sectors. However, dependence on the pallet pooling segment, supplier concentration, and challenges in sustaining high growth remain key risks. It may appeal to long-term investors who is looking to participate in India’s evolving logistics and supply chain ecosystem, while listing gains will depend on market sentiment and grey market trends.
